Power down the system and remove the power cord, remove the CMOS battery for 1 minute, once you power back on all BIOS and MEBX setting will return to default setting's.
Sorry I do not have any AMT8 doc's that I can share with you.

Hello, can you help me too, please? I have a notebook Lenovo Thinkpad T410 with iAMT technology, but amt password I forgot... Can I restore "admin" password? Intel SCS function "Unconfigure" does not work... I dont want to remove CMOS battery from my note...Thanks...
Hi Alexey,
Sorry but there is no way around pulling the CMOS battery unless you can find or figure out what the password is, otherwise disconnect power and battery then remove CMOS battery for 1-5 minutes.

Hi Greg:
I have Thinkpad x220 with Intel AMT in Enterprise mode and Pre-provisioning state, according to report by the Intel AMT Diagnostic Tool report. The report also shows SOL and IDE-R and Network Interface and Remote Configuration, etc. enabled, Nothing against AMT, but I am solo consultant, don't need it or want it, as I see security issue for me. Question is, how to totally disable AMT, to ensure that no one can communicate with it from outside and that it will not send out "Hello" packets. I never went into the MEBx (the Tool report shows MEBXPasswordChanged 0 and False for NetworkPasswordChanged, also shows False for ProvisioningPeriodNotExpired and 0 for RemainingProvisioningPeriodInHours). I note your instruction to remove cmos battery for 1-5 minutes in order to restore AMT (and BIOS) default settings. Problem is, what are these settings for me? Are they the OEM image that Lenovo put into the AMT? Or are they Intel's settings. Trying to understand all this has consumed hours and is driving me nuts. I look forward to your definitive help! Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I am suffering from a similar issue. I have a Q77 machine, it's the first time I am using it. When I tried to enter MEBx configuration menu, I tried "admin" and "P@ssw0rd" as default password but it didn't accept. Then I tried removing the CMOS battery but after that I am still stuck in the password. It still doesn't accept "admin" as password. What can I do in this situation? I am really stuck right now.
